OMG! My letters worked his arm is no longer possessed now it's his sword thank goodness
thank goodness!!!! I can't wait for this title now _________________"Repent you are in the presence of a greater fiend!!!"

I dont get it, they said new weapon comes with new combos.
Ayane gives him a new sword from Hayate yet the moves are exactly like the dragon sword.
I expected to see NEW stuff from Ryu by this video not only new levels, core thing is what can Ryu do now.

And the game is coming out in March and we havent seen anything special from Ryu since the reveal.
If this was Itagaki he would show alot of new stuff of what Ryu could do, what they have done to it, but yet keep alot of stuff secret.

I will get this game but at this point the game looks horrible, not visually, but gameplaywise and designwise.

PS: Good menu music though, but thats not Hayashi's work so composer always deliver atleast a few goodies each new title.

Alive and ticking. All of the information is excellent Thank you, been focusing on other games
(because of peer pressure) did any of you catch Hayashi button mashing @ 51:41 LOL_________________"Repent you are in the presence of a greater fiend!!!"

I just check back once in a while when i see something interesting, that boring video showed up so I posted it.

I hope IGN video tomorrow has more video of actual NEW stuff to Ryu to show us and not repetitive.
Coming out in March and Ryu has a new sword and he still hasent done anything we havent seen since reveal, very depressing.

This MP video...I have no hopes for it and nor I care much. I will watch, but playing as Ryu and having good SP, especially if they have the brains to add Mission Mode this time, thats fine.

O I loved it, this is just what I needed some fresh content,
And ahh… Ayane and they acknowledged Hayate, O YES HAYATE (dude im flipping out here) and Ranjin- Maru to make it the equivalent of the dragon sword grate move,

TN a couple of months ago twitted abut Ranjin mentioning it was the name of Hayate’s sword, and I knew they were leading to something, and im going to go back now and find that post I mead in which I pointed out that Hayate’s sword form DOA5 and the sword that Ryu got in NG3 sand stage looked the same

Loved Ayane, the scenes between Ryu and Ayane are always very good you get a real sense of their relationship, it does look like they’re going to make her more Asian looking, it something I think their trying to push for DOA5 and its present in her shots form Orochi 2,
I don’t know if it’s because they’re in the Middle East and that’s why she was all covered up but still looked brilliant im really happy with it, now all we need is to see Hayate, Kasumi and Momiji

It’s a bit odd that they travelled from England to Arabia in that time Ryu couldn’t pick up a sword, could he have not kept RotM’s sword?
Mizuki is going to be the thing that kills NG3, they stuck her with Ryu right from the beginning and I fear she’s going to be worse than Sonia,

I still have the same issues as iv always had with NG3, lack of blood, lack of dismemberment, lack of weapons ect but what iv seen today has been very good

They seem to have change the health bar again, now it also grows and shortens, im pretty sure there’s only going to be one ninpo, in which case no ninpo Icon isn’t really an issue

Im really fearing the loss of Fiends

And I am convinced that the Regent of the Mask is Victor Donavon, seriously listen to what Mizuki says, “it’s got to be someone with a lot of money” and they guy has advanced weaponry at his disposal and a want to take over the world, its Victor Donavon!_________________

I remember in pass NG1 that by the time you hit stage 2 and get near a sub-boss, you can upgrade your weapon to level 2, but here there is nothing here.

I really was expecting to see something new for Ryu to show us.
Give me London level again but atleast let Ryu do something different with a sword. One thing Hayashi dont understand is that the tradition of NG is to have various weapons to play around with, THAT is what makes the combat of NG so fresh and has variety.
Keep using a sword is extremely limited to what you can do with is unless you go all anime with it. Look at Bayonetta, Sengoku Basara 3 or Vergil...but Ryu isnt exagerated that way which is a huge shame.

Story is very weak as it gets, Ryu becomes a Japanese Jack Bauer and work for the government now while pass NGs he didnt work for anyone and he was cleansing the evil from the world and going to other realms and defeat the real threat.
No fiends/ninja enemies...no Ninja Gaiden, and that is a fact!
Though I LOVE the look of Mizuki, she looks beautiful so I know Hayashi can do good design interms of characters and outfits so thats good.

Atleast the main menu was nice, but then again I thank the composers for that so I know they will deliver as usual.

I hope the IGN livestream is something different or extended showing if not...nothing more than dissapointment again.
I like that he said he turned off the tutorial so we didnt have to see the buttons.
But I think for the first time we play we have to have it on because we dont know what buttons do what and what SoB buttons is which on what enemy.
But good to know it can be turned off.
